Create new array value for each html element in php

I'm trying to turn this string:

> President Obama pointed blabla<br /> <br /> The only way I get this
> stuff <br /> <br /> I'm consulting with the Pentagon, with <br /> <br
> />

into this array: (new array element for each "<br /> <br />")

array (
[0] => President Obama pointed blabla
[1] => The only way I get this stuff 
[2] => I'm consulting with the Pentagon, with 
);

I tried to use explode("<br /><br /> ", $string) but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Unless it was a typo, you are missing a space in your explode() between each
. Alternatively you could do:

$br2arr = array_filter(preg_split("/([\s\b]*<br \/>[\s\b]*)|([\s\b]*<br>[\s\b]*)/", $str));

Which should do what you want in any case/format

In your case explode("<br /> <br />", $string); would work.

More generally, you can add: $string = str_replace('<br /> <br />', '<br /><br />', $string); before the previous line if you have some lines that are separated by <br /> <br /> and some by <br /><br />

Looks like you just need to remove the first two characters of each line ("> "), concatenate all the lines, then do your explode (noting the missing space, as others have pointed out).

Try adding a space between your <br /> tags in the explode function.
